The KW V5 Coilover Kit for the 2017+ Audi R8 (4S) Coupe and Spyder is a high-performance suspension upgrade designed to deliver precise handling and exceptional road feedback. Incorporating KW's proven motorsport suspension technology, this coilover system features KW Solid Piston technology and a modular damper design with valves connected in series. These components enable rapid and accurate damping responses, ensuring optimal control during aggressive driving, track days, or spirited street use. The V5 coilovers are engineered for minimal delay in shock absorption, reacting instantly to small steering inputs and road imperfections, which enhances overall stability and driver confidence.
Designed specifically for the 2017 and newer Audi R8 models with Magnetic Ride suspension, this kit provides a direct bolt-on upgrade for improved performance and adjustability. It is suitable for both coupe and Spyder variants, offering a tailored fit for this high-performance vehicle. The coilovers are ideal for enthusiasts seeking a combination of track-ready handling and street comfort, with features that support fine-tuning of ride height and damping settings. Installation involves replacing the factory suspension components, and the kit includes all necessary hardware for a straightforward upgrade. This system is perfect for track days, spirited driving, or enhancing daily driving dynamics on the R8 platform.

Overview
Overview
By launching the new KW V5 coilover suspension, KW focuses on its successful motorsport suspension technology -ith KW Solid Piston technology -nd modular design with damper valves connected in series. The KW V5 assures precise and fast damping without delay in sports cars and super sports cars. The shock absorbers and valves react directly, even with small spring travel, minimal steering movements, and minor road undulations. Every driving maneuver and every input, such as those generated during braking, acceleration, steering, load changes, and undulations, are damped much more precisely. The KW Solid Piston dampers provide much more platform support to the chassis than conventional dampers and thus, depending on the vehicle body allow for lower spring rates to be used. The KW V5 with adjustable KW SPCLH-A (KW Solid Piston Compression Low- and Highspeed Adjustable) compression damping and the KW SPRLH-A (KW Solid Piston Rebound Low- and Highspeed Adjustable) rebound damping offers significant added values: more sensitive damping, cavitation-free function, precise high-frequency damping, low-pressure gas range from 6 to 10 bar and low hysteresis. The low- and high-speed valve units in the KW V5 coilover suspension, which are built-in series with different valve spring types and main valves, offer the freedom to individually adjust the compression and rebound damping with 13 exact clicks (14 characteristic curves) each in the low- and high-speed range. The KW Solid Piston technology -an also be used to cover a large force range when designing the characteristic curves; all the more reason to enable a completely new type of harmonious damping. The KW V5 allows a maximum or individual lowering within the tested Adjustment -ange. Due to the dirt-resistant trapezoidal thread and the polyamide threaded ring, the continuous lowering can be varied quickly and easily, even after the years.
